And the UK because it predates Brexit.

And it applies to EU citizens living abroad, so even if you're not one, submitting a request can work.

I tried it once with Reddit a long time ago and they never asked me to verify I was from the EU, they just told me that the data would auto be deleted after x amount of days.

Not sure if it still applies as AI is hungry for all that data now.

And also applies to non-EU citizens in the EU.

If your data is being processed in the EU, it is protected by GDPR even if you're not a European citizen and not currently in the EU.
